I would absolutely return. It was a beautiful area and overall we had a fantastic experience. Conner on reception and th
Pros:

The view was amazing, the bed was very comfy, the staff were great, the bathroom was amazing.

Cons:

The drinks were very expensive (£32 for 2 gins!!) so we felt we could only go out for a drink really. I also found it strange you couldn’t smoke on your own balcony and you couldn’t go out there after 10/11 at night and not when it’s windy or poor weather - and I thought that’s why I was paying more for a room with a balcony - so I could use it but there were a lot of restrictions.

Pros:

Lovely room, hotel and staff with a great view over the marina. Comfortable with some considerate touches.

Cons:

Very, very expensive. Due to the shortage of accomodation I had few options. I've stayed in hotels similar to this in other countries for a sixth of the price. A bit far out but that's my fault, I should've checked. Room is small but nicely decorated.
